The Movie Database Support

In this scenario my first fetch (tv search) produces up to twenty additional fetches as that is the amount of results that are returned to me, then each of those fetches produce one fetch.

So I am fetching 41 times in the matter of seconds which would surpass the cap by one.

My question is, can I limit the number of results I get back in my query so I don't pull 20 results?

Please, place your API Request here.
Without your API Key. Replace your Key with MY_KEY.

If I remember correctly, every search result obeys the following limits:
20 items per page x maximum 1000 pages.

1st request to get series ->
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?api_key=&query=thrones&language=en-US
2nd through 21st request to get seasons -> (2nd) -
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1399?api_key=&language=en-US
22nd through 41st request to get episodes -> (22nd) -
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/1399/season/7?api_key=&language=en-US

I thought so, I figured I'd ask and see if there's a way to put in a request to be able to change it.

I edited your post to get clearer to me.

The Google translation sometimes makes it difficult.
I do not think it's possible to limit the number of responses.
It will always be 20. When there are 20.
